poliphiloI don't get handbags.
I mean they're obviously very useful things but I don't get why they've become such fetish objects.
craftyailz was in Wilmslow yesterday. She came back with horror stories about how there were handbags in the shops with price tags of £800- and counting.
I've seen these designer handbags. They look like handbags. I don't think I've ever seen a handbag I've considered beautiful.
I mean, it's just a bag.
Ailz doesn't think anyone should pay that sort of money for such a frivolous object. Not in a world where people are struggling to feed their children. I agree.
Wilmslow, of course, is in WAG country. Lots of premiership footballers have houses round there. Omid Djalili was saying on Have I Got News For You last night that it shouldn't be Wives And Girlfriends because you can't really be both at once. It should be Wives Or Girlfriends.
It took a moment for us all to get the joke....
Omid Djalili is new to me, but it seems he has a show of his own in the pipeline. I'm looking forward to it.
He's a British Iranian. Big and bald and beautiful. Two of the most amazing people I ever knew were British Iranians.
Michael Hashemian and Sherry....? No I forget the second name. Sherry was short for Sheherezade.
There are several Michael Hashemians out there. One of them is a dentist in Florida. I don't think that's my guy but who knows? He was 19 when I knew him. A Greek God- with brains to match his beauty.
As for Sherry- well, I remember discussing Baudelaire with her. I was a terrible prig and saving myself for marriage and she was already spoken for, but it didn't stop me fancying her like crazy.
I am dreading the moment when Bush attacks Iran. If Brown backs him up I shall feel as if my country is no longer my country .

The US doesn't have the resources to continue in Iraq and Afghanistan. The American people do not want another war. It's crazy that the US is so hard up for support that Condi Rice is trying to get Russia to back us. However, that isn't even the point. Iran isn't a threat to us. If we sat down with them, maybe we could buy some oil cheap.
